The Intelligence Investigation Concludes, Hermes's Discount Proposal

"Mr. Bert, you're back. You didn't cause any trouble, did you?"

"No. All the escaped Minotaurs were dealt with."

After returning to the Familia group, the werewolf Bert waved a hand in response to Extraordinary Raul's question.

"Miss Ais, did something good happen while you were chasing the escaped Minotaurs?"

The golden-haired elf girl with a ponytail looked at the approaching Sword Princess and asked curiously.

"Why do you say that?"

Ais tilted her head at her elf companion from the same Familia.

"Because you look really happy. That's rather unusual for Miss Ais, who normally doesn't show much expression."

"Oh my, Leffia, do you usually pay such close attention to Ais?"

The flat-chested Amazon Girl leaned over and teased her.

"Ah, I... It's just that Miss Ais always takes care of me, so..."

The lively elf girl Leffia hurriedly explained herself.

"Huh? Don't I take care of you too? That really hurts my feelings."

"Ugh, that's not what I meant..."

"All right, Theiona, stop teasing Leffia. Anyone with eyes can see that this child likes Ais, especially after Ais saved her when they came back this time."

"That's right, just like a knight saving a princess!"

"Ugh..."

The lively elf girl lowered her head, the tips of her ears reddening from the teasing of the two Amazon sisters beside her.

"It wasn't exactly a good thing. On the contrary, Ais lost to someone in the upper floors."

Seeing what was happening, the tsundere werewolf Bert came over and helped the teased elf girl out.

"Huh? What happened?"

At that, the surrounding Loki Familia members all turned to look. Riviera, the Nine Demon Princess and vice-captain of the Loki Familia, stepped forward and directly pressed for the details.

"It's a bit troublesome to explain. Let Ais tell you herself."
